People like Dakkar can`t think for themselves so they need magical ancient documents like the constitution and the bible to govern their lives for them.

The constitution was written by rich white men a long time ago in a world that was very, very different than ours is today.

They may have known what was best for the country at the time of its inception; except for the little thing about black people only being good for doing chores, but they had no drating idea what was going to be best in 200+ years.
